'The Colbert Report' visits gay-tolerant small town in Kentucky

On Wednesday night “The Colbert Report” profiled Cummings, the politician and hairdresser who helped Vicco become the smallest town in America with an ordinance on the books banning discrimination based on sexual orientation.

The segment was part of the recurring feature “People Who Are Destroying America” (which, in true Colbertian fashion, tends to spotlight people doing anything but) and punctured the stereotype of “close-minded hillbillies,” to borrow the words of one Vicco resident.
